Titled for the Amazonas Indians, Brazilian sound sculptor Marco Scarassatti performs on his self-made instrument the Kraiser in a quartet with Creative Sources regulars Ernesto Rodrigues, Guilherme Rodrigues, and Nuno Torres for a dream-like set of improvisations named with indigenous expressions, blending neoprimitivism with creative acoustic improvisation.

"It is with Portuguese musicians that the improviser and inventor of "sound sculptures", as he calls them, Marco Scarassatti signs his work closer to the indigenous mystic of Brazil, and if amoa hi does not reproduce the music of the Amazonas Indians properly, he adopts The spirit of this in a brilliant way.

With a strong imagery - it could act as the soundtrack of an ethnographic film or, better still, fiction - the six themes (all improvisations) assembled not only have autochthonous expressions (examples are "ayokora", "roro konari "Or" remoremo moxi ") as they induce us images of the deep forest," delivering "them with an aura of mystery and a dream character that leads us to want to stop everything we are doing to let ourselves be carried around this world Very own acoustic.

It is immediately clear that if the names of Ernesto Rodrigues, Guilherme Rodrigues and Nuno Torres appear alongside that of Scarassati on the beautiful cover (by Carlos Santos), this is, above all, an album by the artist based in Belo Horizonte.

In terms of aesthetic affiliation, it will have more to do with the approaches of a Hugh Davies, one of the major references of musical creation with new instruments, in his association with musicians who used conventional instruments with extensive techniques and alternative vocabularies. But there is something more that is said to him, and this is the essential thing here: a kind of neoprimitivism that tries to return to the origin of the organization of the sounds to propose another way than the one taken by the western music.
